OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

My daughter is in division 156. I received her call yesterday...bittersweet moment. We had about 10 minutes and she was so happy to talk with us also. She said they are so very busy and she did not know when she would call again but was surely looking forward to letters and was finally able to mail some she had written. Counting down the days... Proud of our Recruits !

That's odd CVS didnt have them on the Gift Card rack. Try Walmart or Walgreens, my daughter took some with her, that she got from her going away party.

Just out of curiosity...does anyone know how the Caller ID looks when they call? Is it just a phone number, will it say Unknown...? I sometimes screen calls because I get a lot of sales calls and my husband uses his phone for work and we don't want to miss my son's call.
My son is in 155 - I'm anxious to hear from him.

the call that came in on Saturday said Waukegan IL area code 847, other posts say it might come over as government, or Private
I missed her first call Saturday, and I am still kicking myself :(

I understand! Thank you for the info! I know it won't be the end of the world if I miss his call, but still.. Congratulations, by the way to you and your daughter. I would be bursting with pride if my daughter had joined the Navy. She must be some kind of tough!
